Must visit, driving onto property you are captivated by the scenery, the buildings nestled into nature. Met at Reception with White Wine and chilled water. Four of us checked in and was whisked up the beautifully landscaped property which was dotted with sculptures, birdhouses and flowers. The property boats a wine cave, their own vegetable and herb garden, spa and boathouse restaurant. We had lunch poolside on our last day and did not want to leave. The food was excellent. The nature setting makes this such a unique getaway and you can see why brides and corporate heads alike choose Calistoga. Our Lodge with two full bedrooms, full kitchen, outdoor deck with fireplace, not to mention the outdoor shower. The staff was warm, friendly and personally committed to make your visit exceptional. Our group was treated special upon arrival, during our visit and when we departed. The General Manager called to see if we had any special requests. We did, we wanted to tour the property and a member of the staff Soroya drove us in the Golf Cart and we were wowed by the detail and care.Thank you Calistoga and staff.

My wife and I just had a lovely evening wedding at Calistoga Ranch by the lake, followed by a reception in the wine cave. Both the facilities at Calistoga Ranch and the service provided by the staff were impeccable. From the initial tour of the property to the actual wedding day logistics we could not have been more impressed by the great work of the Wedding Events Manager, Laura Vaughan, and her team. Our guests flew in from both the United States and Europe, and all of them were impressed by the organization and attention to details. I suspect that Laura will be getting calls from a few of the single ladies who attended our wedding and who would now like to have their own weddings at Calistoga Ranch! Thank you to all the staff from the valets to the catering team to Laura for making our special day even more memorable.

My Husband and I just got back from spending 2 nights at this fantastic resort. From the minute you arrive the customer service you receive is impeccable!! The rooms were beautiful and spacious. The outdoor shower is an added bonus. We got massages there and and the services and treatments inside the Spa were just as impeccable as everywhere else. Gregory one of the concierges before we got there helped me plan a day at the wineries and car service. He did a wonderful job!! On the day we were checking out we had gone on a Hot Air Balloon ride and we were delayed getting back and had a short window to get to airport, We had called from our way back from hot air ride and let them know our situation. They checked us out of our room and had our bags in the rental car in front, cold bottles of waters,snacks, and a map waiting for us. Kuddos to the staff for helping us out of a stressful situation.

When my fiance and I were considering locations for our elopement, Napa Valley, California was definitely a front-runner. We have been to the Valley before and love the scenery, vineyard visits and amazing food the valley has to offer. We had decided on a different resort in the area until I called the Napa Valley Visitor Center and spoke to a woman named Corbie who strongly recommended we checked out Calistoga Ranch. Now we are very much in debt to her! From the moment we arrived on the ranch to our departure, everything was unbelievable. We received a warm welcome from the front desk staff, a glass of Calistoga Ranch Chardonnay and even our wedding planner, Laura, joined us upon arrival. We felt very welcome and right away we knew we were in great hands.

We were then brought to our suite, via golf cart, and were so happy with what we saw. Our dog Griz had his own bed, dishes, treats, menu and felt very first class! There was a bottle of champagne chilling and a 3 tiered welcome and congratulations feast awaiting our arrival. The Creek Suite we stayed in was VERY private and had the most amazing outdoor rain shower, hot tub, double sided fireplace and humongous tree in the middle of the deck. We really appreciated how The Ranch pays as much attention to the outdoor living space as they do to the indoor. Further, we also love the fact that while creating the resort they paid close attention to preserving the natural beauty and building around the many awesome trees and landscape.

The day of the wedding was as perfect as perfect could be. If you have ever planned a wedding (we did for a year and then decided to elope!) you would understand the feelings of stress and urgency. At the Ranch, this was completely not the case. Laura assisted us in all of the planning and was such a great support. She paid close attention to detail and really made us feel confident that everything was in place. Because of the ease and relaxed state that my fiance and I were in, we spent a couple hours at the Bath House Spa (Hans and Doug were amazing btw) the day of the wedding and felt completely at peace. The wedding itself was beautiful. We chose to have the ceremony on the Lommel Lawn and then move up to the Lakeview Patio. In addition to the package, we hired a videographer (Aaron Lee from Aaron Lee Films who was also amazing to work with), a musician (Mark Abdilla) and an additional hour with our fantastic photographer (Briana Forgie with Briana Marie Photography). Laura was by our side every step of the way ensuring everything was perfect and on time. I would also highly recommend the Wedding Day Turn Down Service! We were completely astonished to come back to our suite after dinner to see a path of rose petals leading the way across the deck into the bathroom that was also riddled with ample candles, an amazing bottle of champagne and chocolate covered strawberries. Over the top and so romantic!

The remainder of our 8 day stay at The Ranch was also unbelievable. Gloria helped us plan and schedule all of our outings to vineyards, assisted with booking reservations at restaurants (ps Meadowood Restaurant is a definite must go with its 3 Michelin Stars!) and arranged our transportation. I must say the staff at Calistoga is highly exceptional to any other and our sincerest appreciation goes out to all that made our wedding and stay so very memorable! We will definitely be coming back for anniversaries and will be recommending this amazing resort to anyone who travels to the Valley.

Warmly,Dana and Mark

Just back from a three night stay at the Calistoga Ranch. Loved every minute and didn't want to leave. From the minute we arrived, we were greeted with a glass of Calistoga wine and registered while soaking in the surroundings, lush green hillsides with no other signs of humanity around.

The accommodations are large, well-appointed and inviting, with indoor and private outdoor showers, a separate bungalow for sleeping and living room areas, an indoor/outdoor fireplace, private outdoor jacuzzis, a delicious gift waiting for us and a stocked refrigerator at our disposal.

We loved the gym and pool areas, and had great meals with attentive service at the just for guests Lake View restaurant.

Jose, at the reception area was a real standout. He greeted us with a smile everyday, had great recommendations and made sure we could drive one of the convertible Mercedes that the hotel has a ongoing partnership with. We were also impressed by Gloria and Gregory at the concierge desk who had good winery and restaurant recommendations and reserved them for us without tasting fees. Hector at the restaurant also provided excellent service.

This was our second visit and we can't wait to return.

We stayed for a birthday weekend getaway. We were new the valley and overall impressed with the amount of great food, wine and beauty in the area. However, the Calistoga Ranch was nice, was overrated and over hyped. We stay in luxury hotels and boutique resorts all over the world and expected more for the price. Three things stood our specifically. 1) The property and structures are 9 years old. Technology, fixtures, keys they give you and facilities were all dated (again for the price). 2) Half the team was very hospitable, but there was a lack of soul or the personality for the property. For most of the staff it was a job. Also, watch out for the golf carts. There are dozens of staff on them, and most of maintenance and food carts dont wait for you. 3) Having traveled all over the world, the resorts and spas we have been too never worried about the little things. At the Ranch it was clear that nothing was simple. For example; for the nightly rate, a pool side corkage fee should not be worried about. Its not the money that matters, its the principle. Its the small things that make you feel like family vs. just another open wallet.
